1958 Map of Riepetown

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Egan Range dominates this mid-century industrial landscape, where the eastern slopes are defined by intensive copper mining operations. Settlement is concentrated at Kimberly and Riepetown, small communities essentially surrounded by massive excavations and spoil sites. The presence of the Nevada Northern railroad line, curving through the mining complex, underscores the logistical importance of these pits to the regional economy. Industrial activity is strikingly dense here, with dozens of specific mining landmarks documented, including the Veteran Pit, Tripp Pit, and the Liberty Pit. For genealogists and mining historians, the map provides precise locations for named infrastructure like the Matilda Tunnel, Boston-Ely Shaft, and Emma-Nevada Shaft. Beyond the industrial zones, the terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Copper Flat and the drainage of White River Wash.
